OLE/COM Object Viewer Throws Error - Windows Media Player - Windows Vista

[AndrewG]

Trying to access Windows Media Player Control in Windows Vista Buisness.
Using the OLE/COM Object viewer, I open Controls key and try to open Windows Media Player and I get this error:


CoGetClassObject failed.
The specified module could not be found
severity: SEVERITY_ERROR: FACILITY_WIN32 ($8007007E)


Anybody know why? How to fix/repair it?

So in trying to solve this, I Wrote a script to put Windows Media Player in a GUI. (WMPlayer.OCX)
Works in XP fails in Vista.
Looking at the Autoit helpfile I decided to add the Com Error Handling function shown.

I get this result in WIndows Vista:

We intercepted a COM Error !
Number is: 80040154
WinDescription is: Class not registered

Anybody know how to register the class?

I had to register wmp.dll

regsvr32 wmp.dll

Problem appears to be solved.
